Required shortcuts
Jumper relies on default DaVinci Resolve shortcuts and menu paths to work around gaps in the Resolve API. If you use custom keyboard shortcuts, these features may not work correctly.
| Shortcut / Action | Purpose |
|---|
| Shift + I | ”Go to in point” — moves the playhead in the Source Monitor when Jumper marks in/out |
| Ctrl + 3 (Windows) / Cmd + 3 (macOS) | Export current frame from Source Viewer — used for the Match Source button |
| Workspace -> Active Panel Selection -> Source Viewer | Focus the Source Viewer — used when exporting a frame for Match Source |
Custom keyboard shortcuts will break playhead movement, Match Source, and related features. Use DaVinci Resolve’s default shortcuts, or restore them for these actions.
Troubleshooting
Playhead doesn’t move when marking in/out
Jumper uses Shift + I (“Go to in point”) to move the playhead after marking in/out. If the playhead doesn’t move, or the search term appears before the in point, you likely have a custom keyboard shortcut that overrides the default. See Required shortcuts above.
